Once the opening credits start, you can tell this is going to be a...different experience. The opening credits feel very Hitchcockesque, from the rolling credit on a landscape to a panning action that concludes it. Overall, the movie is very suspenseful, with the resolution kept just out of reach by events that, at times, border on just absurd. Some tones of socioeconomic and privilege are scratched upon and in some ways play a factor into what is a surprise twist in the end. The only downside to the movie is that it is a bit slow at times and the characters do lack fleshing out.
